A Dolphin Pod

Amy Grisdale

I’m Amy, a marine biologist and comedian who’s obsessed with dolphins - and I want you to be too. This podcast series tells the absolutely bonkers story of the first captive dolphin, explains how the industry operates today and examines whether or not it’s okay to keep dolphins in captivity at all (spoiler alert - it’s not). You’ll laugh, you might even cry, but no matter what happens you’ll learn a lot about dolphins.

10 - Episode 10 - The Winter’s Tail
The final instalment of the show thrusts the dark matter of dolphin rescue and rehabilitation into the light. We meet Winter, the star of the 2011 movie Dolphin Tale. She was a wild dolphin who lost her tail in infancy and spent the rest of her life at a rescue centre. It may sound like a happy ending, but think again. The animals that enter the rehabilitation system usually don’t make it out alive. What they do make, however, is money.
